My apologies for this lengthy intrusion, and my humble thanks to any kind soul taking time to read this. I am searching for a very special Estill Springs woman, named Minnie Cherry, who was born cir 1894 and moved away around the end of World War One. I am so desperate to find this person that I offer $200 cash for any clues leading to her location, or contact with any of her descendants. Here's her story: Minnie (Amelia) Cherry was the daughter of an unknown Spanish (Guatemalan) heiress & Mr. Leonard Harvey Cherry (1852-1901) who lived near Spring Creek (Estill Springs) in the 1880's. L. H. Cherry moved to Central America cir 1887, and lived there for about 13 yrs. While overseas, he fathered a child with a well-affiliated Spanish woman. It is unknown if the Spanish mother died previous, but he moved back to Estill Springs in late 1900, smuggling his daughter home to Tennessee. L. H. Cherry died in Estill in 1901. The family and locals here took to her in an instant. Being half-Latino, she had very dark eyes and hair, and couldn't speak a word of English. She was described as being very beautiful. As she grew to maturity she fit right in with the Estill Springs crowd, southern accent and all. She attended high school in Decherd and graduated about 1914. Until 1915, she lived with her older 1st cousin, Willie Harv and Myrtle Bobo Cherry. That year she was accepted to the St Thomas School of Nursing in Nashville, Tenn and graduated in 1917. She became a nurse in the U.S. Army during the First World War. She was even present in Estill on the night of Feb 12, 1918 when Old No. 5 rolled in from Tullahoma carrying renegade Jim McIlherron. She worked at Kweat Hudgin's drug store, and, just prior to the lynching, searched frantically for some dope to give the black man to deaden the intense pain yet to bear. Here are some clues for the detective genealogist: 1. St Thomas School of Nursing Alumni Association lists her name as "Mamie Cherry McMann." The family always called her "Minnie" and from the alumni list it appears she married a Mr. McMann. The Alumns show no address for her. 2. Family rumor says she married a doctor, and eventually moved to Louisiana. I did a search of the Social Security Death Index and found a Robert McMann (1894-1967) SSN: 435-07-4353 of Haughton, LA. Don't know if this man is her husband though. HINT! --> Scan the Tennessee 1920 Soundex for a young McMann gentleman who practices medicine. If we have a husband's full name, a wife will be easier to track. 3. Minnie (Mamie) is listed in the 1920 Census for Nashville, TN, in the William Sloan household as a private nurse. Minnie's sincerest passion & profession was medicine and nursing. I want to find whatever became of Cousin Minnie (or Mamie Cherry McMann). Where did she end up? Did she have any children? If so, where are they now? Who was her mother? Where is Mamie buried now? Family tradition (and you know how crazy that can be) says Minnie's mother was a Spanish princess. I've written the Spanish and Guatemalan embassies with no clue as to this verification. I really am at an impasse until the 1930 Fed Census is publicly released. I hope some kind soul out there will help me in this initiative. It's always especially difficult searching for a woman because of surnames changing with marriages. But I promise I'll make good on my offer. Thanks and God Bless you! Keith Fletcher

Hello, all my friends on the Franklin Co. list: We had a good old fashioned "barn raising" this past few days, with the help of friends and family. I now have a roof on my house and it's dried in. I'm so excited, as you all that have watched your house being built can testify. Tomorrow, Pete and I will start framing the downstairs rooms (the upstairs is already done). Pete is building most of this house by himself, with me and our oldest local gson as go-fers. I will start writing up deeds again tomorrow afternoon. Tonight I'm spending my time answering my email, since I haven't really been on the computer for quite a few days. So starting tomorrow, HAPPY HUNTING. I hope that I find your kin.

Hi, I don't mean to put down your answer, but I was thinking of all those boundaries that were marked by "an old rotten stump." :D I know there were a lot of cedars in the area, but I don't know about pine.
